fun fact: los angeles averages 2 inches of rain per year.
fun fact: every time i've ever been, it rains.
here are a few photos in between the rain drops, mimosas, and friend meet ups.
we surfed at manhattan beach, but i'll spare you the attractive wet suit photos.
(facebook me for more of those gems)
we met up with friends in holly-hood.
shopped on abbot kinney.
drank lots of coffees.
and didn't see any famous people.

i headed to los angeles this morning to visit my little brother.
he wanted to show me his super hip office, 72 and sunny.
a super hip ad agency with super hip peeps.
while he was introducing me to his super trendy co-workers,
i completely face planted. no big deal.
"hey, i'm colin's sister! meaaaa (insert: face plant) gan."
at least i'm wearing a leather jacket like all the chicks
and skinny jeans like all the dudes.

on a brighter note, they are almost done setting up batting cages and kegs in the office.
just your typical friday afternoon at work in super hipster world.
i think i should apply here.
i can swing bats and drink kegs with the best of 'em.
